Port 45001 ASMPS
Port 45001 is the IANA-assigned asmps port for Nuance AutoStore Status Monitoring Protocol (secure data transfer) (TCP).
What is port 45001 used for?
Port 45001 is assigned to asmps and uses TCP. The IANA registry describes the service as “Nuance AutoStore Status Monitoring Protocol (secure data transfer)”. It sits above the registered range, where most numbers are transient client ports. A fixed high port is worth documenting precisely because tooling often assumes the default.
Ports are the transport-layer address a service listens on. A client that wants to reach asmps connects to port 45001. If nothing is listening, the connection is refused. That is why a port conflict appears whenever two processes try to bind the same number.
Use the commands below to confirm whether port 45001 is actually in use before you change firewall rules. Blocking the port stops new inbound traffic at the firewall, but it does not stop a local process from listening, and it does not remove the service from the machine.

Check and block port 45001
Copy-ready commands for the protocols assigned to this port. Run the check first, then block only what should not be reachable.
Check on Linux
sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :45001'Check on Windows
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 45001 -State Listen -ErrorAction SilentlyContinueBlock with UFW
sudo ufw deny 45001/tcpBlock with iptables
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 45001 -j DROPThese commands are examples for a typical host. Check the listener before you change firewall rules, and persist iptables rules with iptables-save or netfilter-persistent. On Windows, use Windows Defender Firewall or New-NetFirewallRule for persistent blocks. The iptables rules here cover IPv4; mirror them with ip6tables if IPv6 is enabled.
Is port 45001 safe to expose?
This port is not on our curated list of services with a widely exploited profile. Exposure is only safe when the listening service is intended, patched and protected by a firewall. Keep the listening service patched and remove it if unused. A default-deny firewall policy with explicit allow rules is still the safest baseline.
Where port 45001 is usually used
Most traffic on port 45001 falls into these scenarios. The demo below is a safe way to confirm the listener before you change anything.
- Scrapers such as Prometheus pulling metrics from port 45001 on a schedule.
- Dashboards and alerting rules querying the same endpoint.
- Incident reviews comparing metrics before and after a deployment.
Fetch metrics
Metrics endpoints usually return plain text or JSON. Check the port locally before exposing it to a monitoring network.

Connection refused or timed out
Refused usually means the host is reachable but nothing is listening on port 45001. A timeout more often means a firewall drop, a wrong host or a service bound to a different interface.
Port already in use
Find the process holding the port with sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :45001' or sudo lsof -i :45001. Stop that process or configure it to bind another port; killing it without identifying it can take down a production service.
Firewall rule did not survive a reboot
UFW and Windows Firewall keep rules across restarts. Raw iptables rules do not: save them with iptables-save or the netfilter-persistent package, and re-apply after upgrades that reset the ruleset.
The port is blocked but still reachable
A firewall rule filters inbound traffic; it does not close the listener. Confirm with the check command above and bind the service to 127.0.0.1 when only local clients need it.

Frequently asked questions
What is port 45001 used for?
Port 45001 (ASMPS) uses TCP. Nuance AutoStore Status Monitoring Protocol (secure data transfer).
How do I check if port 45001 is open?
On Linux run `sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :45001'`. On Windows run `Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 45001 -State Listen -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue` in PowerShell. If the port is open, the output shows a process listening on port 45001; empty output usually means nothing is bound to it.
How do I block port 45001?
With UFW run `sudo ufw deny 45001/tcp`. With iptables run `sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 45001 -j DROP`. Persist the iptables rules with your distribution's netfilter-persistent or iptables-save tooling so they survive a reboot.
Is port 45001 safe to expose?
This port is not on our curated list of services with a widely exploited profile. Exposure is only safe when the listening service is intended, patched and protected by a firewall. Nevertheless, keep the listening service patched and remove it if unused. A default-deny firewall policy with explicit allow rules is still the safest baseline.
